Antidepressants Linked to Higher Risk for Stroke, Death Among Postmenopausal Women
Researchers prospectively followed, for about 6 years, some 136,000 Women's Health Initiative participants who weren't using antidepressants at baseline. They compared cardiovascular outcomes between women who started using antidepressants during follow-up (4%) and those who did not.
Among the findings:
- Antidepressants were not associated with coronary heart disease.
- SSRIs were associated with a 45% increase in stroke risk, largely due to an increase in hemorrhagic stroke (consistent with SSRI's antiplatelet effects, the authors note).
- SSRIs and tricyclic antidepressants conferred higher risk for all-cause mortality.
The authors caution that their findings "must be placed in the context of the observational nature of these analyses ... and the known risks associated with depression."
